Slot has enjoyed a largely serene first season since replacing Jurgen Klopp, who ironically won last year’s Carabao Cup before effectively retiring from management.
Still, Liverpool were knocked out of the Champions League by PSG at the last-16 stage on penalties on Tuesday night and it will be interesting to see how they respond.
Indeed, the defeat to the French champions at Anfield may have come at a further cost too.

[Ibrahima Konate](/topic/ibrahima-konate), however, looks set to feature. Concern was raised when the Frenchman came off during extra-time of the PSG game but Slot confirmed after the full-time whistle that the defender was likely suffering from fatigue rather than any injury.
Slot naturally went strong for the PSG clash, so it would be a surprise to see too many changes made other than those enforced upon him.
Still, Cody Gakpo made his return from a knock earlier this week and may be an option to start on the left of the attack with Luis Diaz moving centrally ahead of either Darwin Nunez or Diogo Jota.
